There are even more right-wing parties, but the RN is the most popular.

Wunderling DX was on for €1.50. There’s 144 levels. Nice silly way to spend the week.

Cool. But, which repair centre has the contract for bricked phones. In Europe only one place has the vendor key thing if you fuck up while flashing the device, they won’t let users or other repair places have it so I assume it works the same in the US.

If I needed a new phone, I might get one of these. Repairable phones are cool.

Liquid is supposed to be concentrated, if you use too much and don’t rinse enough you won’t really remove smells/bacteria. As others mention, it is best to read manuals and instructions. If you don’t use enough your clothes will smell like the worst thing in the wash.

I hardly see powder for sale in any shops where I live, so liquid gets the convenience points.

When I do see powder, I buy it because it is useful for setting the delayed start on my washer. I used to do pods, but they are awful, especially the pods filled with liquid. The water is so hard where I live, maybe that had something to do with it.

The Atari Recharged games were on sale on Switch. I put a good amount of time into Yars, Caverns of Mars, Breakout, and Black Widow. About €2 each. Yars my favourite of those 4. I didn’t bother with any of the others.

Spoke too soon. Two spam calls this morning.

I’m very pleased and have been waiting years for this. The way I understand it is that they’re making marketing calls explicitly opt-in, and easy to opt-out of. The non-stop calls from marketing agents stopped on July 27 for me.

There was also another change about hidden numbers that happened not too long ago which reduced the number of calls by one or two per day.

There is a list of numbers depending on your region that were registered marketing numbers. I had a filter for those, but I don’t think I’ll need it anymore. Any number starting with 0162, 0163, 0270, 0271, 0377, 0378, 0424, 0425, 0568, 0569, 0948 or 0949 was spam so it was easy to filter.

The punishment will be interesting to see. There are plenty of ways to report spam. Back in 2007 they said the French would never stop smoking in public places, and they did and a few people got fined for testing what would happen. Same thing will happen with this.

Edit: it is $87,000 per call. Damn.

I was thinking about a shooting that happened in Norway. Some of the children called their parents. It didn’t stop anything horrible from happening, but they left the world knowing they were loved.

I think this is a tough one to weigh in on depending where you come from. If I lived somewhere where the news talked about school shootings a lot, I might want my child to have a phone.

Go after the companies making addictive applications instead.

• one for slop
• one for porn
• one to exploit the global south
• one for genocide
• one to create noise pollution
• one to use up the water
• one for climate collapse

Probably. Paris Marx just wrote a post about Musk that reminds me of this a bit https://disconnect.blog/elon-musks-tired-schtick/

Why bother talking to guys like Sam? Why print what they say?

He isn’t even an AI expert, his own employees have said so. He is just the adman.

You’ve probably seen it, but David Revoy is an artist that uses Krita and makes videos on the subject.

Same here. Happens with updates too.

Just hype to distract from the fact that they cannot turn a profit.

Holmes (Theranos) made promises too.

This is not a great idea. You cannot just flip a switch and make up a tipping culture. Countries that do tips have laws about them and how they are declared and distributed. I’m from Canada, but in my province if you tip at a restaurant, the tips are pooled for everybody working at the restaurant and then declared. In other places, that is not allowed and tips go straight to the pocket of the wait staff.

Don’t let this become a thing.

Tips at a restaurant/café, hotel, hairdresser, taxi, some deliveries… maybe.

Tipping at a fast food joint, a Starbucks, drive through, retail store. Nope nope nope.

Hpw do you run ads for child abuse?

Instagram has been profiting off paid adverts that promote CSAM in India

OK…

How did we get here?

Earlier this year, Meta announced it was trying to reduce its reliance on third party human moderators by — you guessed it — switching to AI.

That’s what they said would happen…

How bad is it?

The videos promote child abuse and invite you to join a Telegram group to have access to it. So, that’s bad, and also sounds like a honeypot.

It’s a pufferfish

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tetraodontidae

They eat crabs, shrimp, small lobsters, mollusks, algae, starfish, sea urchins, sponges, coral polyps

They have teeth that can take a chunk out of you. They are poisonous. Homer Simpson ate one.

I thought there might be at least one shmup. The R9 from R-Type? The Vic Viper? Silver Hawk? Fighting Thunder?

Still really cool though!
